My daughter, young Galadriel Tanqueray Onassis, recently summarized for me what she has learned about American history.

American history synapses. (1776-present day)
"Oh hey lets fight the British so we can be cool by ourselves"
[insert revoloutionary war here]
"now lets make some laws n junk"
"oh, better idea. These people are dumb let's take all their land and put them in these lame reservations"
[insert indian wars here]
"oh, and lets enslave these people cuz they suck.
[insert civil war here]
"Just kidding! Give them rights. They're equal"
"Yeah! War! America! Beer! FOOTBALLLLLLLLLLL"
********
